Chapter 17 Zhang Shaojie's face

The popularity of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" continues to soar, and the influence it brings to Zhang Shaojie is huge.

At least Zhang Shaojie's younger brother Zhang Shaohuai's works have also begun to benefit from his brother's influence.

Any publishing and media organization can ignore Zhang Shaohuai, a newcomer, but now no publishing and media organization dares to ignore Zhang Shaojie!

Zhang Shaojie is Shaohuai's elder brother, as long as Zhang Shaohuai's works are not so unsightly, they can basically be published in most magazines!

"Martial Arts and History" magazine, although it is a veteran martial arts magazine. But now, Zhang Shaojie is already the pillar author of this magazine, so the magazine cannot but consider Zhang Shaojie's attitude.

Directed by Zhang Shaojie, Shaohuai's "Broken Void", the general plot and setting are still very synchronized with Huang Yi's "Broken Void" in history, the difference is only that the writing skills are inferior to Huang Yi.

Of course, Shaohuai has also read "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", coupled with Zhang Shaojie's dedicated guidance, so the overall style of "Broken Void" is also similar to Huang Yi's style in history!

Hu Bo read the beginning of this novel and threw it to other editors in the editorial department for review.

Surprisingly, most editors feel bullish on Shattered Void!

"Brother Hu, I think "Broken Void" is still serialized! Moreover, fantasy martial arts such as "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are popular now. The setting of "Broken Void" is directly Zhang Shaojie's handwriting, and in my opinion, it can also take advantage of the popular trend and attract the attention of readers! One editor strongly advised.

"Yes, I also think that Zhang Shaohuai's writing ability is not as amazing as his brother Shaojie! However, it is also far more than the vast majority of authors. Another screenwriter also said after reading "Broken Void", "Zhang Shaohuai is also a potential dark horse worthy of our cultivation!" ”

"But I still think that this one is far inferior to "Datang". If you haven't read "Datang", you still think it's good, but after reading "Datang", will readers still be interested in this imitation? Hu Bo was suspicious.

"Brother Hu! You are the deputy editor-in-chief, you have read too many manuscripts, and your vision is different from that of ordinary readers! In fact, from my level, "Shattered Void" is already very enjoyable! An editor said with a smile, "Besides, our serialization of "Broken Void" can not only cultivate Zhang Shaohuai's potential new dark horse, but more importantly, give face to the popular god Zhang Shaojie!" ”

Oh, yes!

Even "Martial Arts and History" can't help but give Zhang Shaojie face!

Although Zhang Shaojie's status in the novel industry is not as lofty as Ni Kuang and Gu Long, compared with economic benefits, Ni Kuang and Gu Long are still inferior to Zhang Shaojie.

At least, Ni Kuang's writing ability is only middle to upper-class, and although the manuscript fee is large, it is obtained by an astonishing number of words.

Although Gu Long's works in the past few years are amazing, they have not been as good as before in recent years, and Gu Long's new books can only sell more than 10,000 copies. It can be seen that in recent years, Gu Long's new works have declined in market appeal.

Zhang Shaojie is different, just his "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was serialized in "Martial Arts and History", which made this old magazine dry wood and spring, and the circulation increased from 20,000 to 120,000 copies.

It can be said that more than ninety percent of the readers who buy "Martial Arts and History" now are just to watch "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

This amazing market appeal can not be ignored by anyone!

"Alright! The next serial "Shattered Void"! Hu Bo thought for a moment and decided.

――――――――

Hong Kong's film industry is well developed, and it is known as the "Hollywood of the East"!

In addition to that, Hong Kong is also a famous comic city!

In Hong Kong, one out of every five people reads comics.

An excellent semi-monthly serialized comic, each issue can even have more than 100,000 readers to order! A top comic artist can even sell more than one million copies of a comic journal in Hong Kong within a year.

This series of astonishing figures undoubtedly reveals how obsessive Hong Kong people are with comics!

As we all know, there are a large number of otaku in Tokyo, and they are obsessed with products such as manga and anime. In fact, Hong Kong people's love for comics is not inferior to Tokyo!

Hong Kong Yulang International Publishing is the largest comic publishing organization in Hong Kong. The founder is Huang Yulang, who can be described as a godfather-level master in the Hong Kong comic industry.

After the development and competition of the comic industry in the 70s, at this time, the entire Hong Kong comic industry already has a huge number of readers.

Hong Kong Man! This niche comic, which was developed by relying on a city's readership, was already the third largest comic export genre in the world in the 80s, except for comics and American comics!

In Hong Kong, the group of cartoonists who rely on comics to make a living, with the continuous development of Hong Kong comics, has also begun to set up many studios, relying on major comic publishing institutions, forming a huge comic industry chain!

Hong Kong comics, which have a huge influence, not only create a comic publishing consumer market of nearly 100 million yuan per year. Moreover, in Hong Kong film and television companies, they are also keen to adapt popular Hong Kong comic works into movies and TV series, which makes Hong Kong comics gain a broader space for development.

I have to say that Hong Kong's comic industry and Hong Kong's martial arts novel industry complement each other!

Many of the plots of Hong Kong comics are adapted from Hong Kong martial arts novels, or martial arts novel writers participate in the plot setting.

A good martial arts novel, for the Hong Kong comic industry, is extremely concerned!

"Zhang Shaojie is really a talent, he can write "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" at the age of 17!" Huang Yulang, the owner of Yulang International, is in his office, lying on a chair, holding the third issue of this year's "Martial Arts and History" magazine, reading with great interest.

"It's a pity that he's writing for Jin Yong's stingy magazine!" Huang Yulang's eldest apprentice, Qi Wenjie, smiled.

"It's just writing for Jin Yong's magazine! Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, when they wrote for Jin Yong, didn't they sell their single books and film and television adaptations to other companies? I only hope that Ming Pao Company did not buy all his copyrights! Huang Yulang smiled.

"Master, are you going to dig up Zhang Shaojie?" Qi Wenjie asked.

"It's not poaching! Zhang Shaojie can continue to write manuscripts for "Martial Arts and History", and I am ready to buy his other copyrights, at least the adaptation rights of the comics of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", I must get it!" Huang Yulang said categorically.

"Okay, I'll try to contact Zhang Shaojie!" Qi Wenjie said.

"No, you don't! I'm going to talk to Zhang Shaojie in person! You go and find Zhang Shaojie's contact information, and find it at any cost! Huang Yulang said.

Qi Wenjie couldn't help but be surprised, although Huang Yulang is known as the godfather in the Hong Kong comic industry, he is actually very self-respecting, and he is the self-proclaimed "emperor" within the company. But I didn't expect that the emperor would be particularly favored by a seventeen-year-old boy today!

As Huang Yulang's henchman, Qi Wenjie, the number two person in the company's management, can't help but be a little jealous!
